Is it still worth it?

I am currently working on my MCDST to complete my MCT which will feed into my
MCSA and eventually MCSE now the question I have is are these certs still
worth the $125.00 investment?

I have had several people approach me and say that these certs are not as
recognized in the industry as say a A+, Network +, etc.

The college I am attending is also fighting me now as well, they used to be
gunghoe about allowing me to use these test to "CLEP" courses, and now they
are very hesitant...

IDEAS???

That's up to the individual. For me, they aren't worth it to keep up to
date on.

 

Thank You for your response.

I was just trying to get a feel to see if these certs are the "industry"
standard anymore...

Thank You,

 

It's worth it if the job you (or anyone else) are applying for has as a
"requirement" an MCSE or MCSA. Doesn't having a shot at the position make
it worth it?

I had an MCSE in NT and now I'm working on getting my MCSA 2003 - and I feel
like a dog chasing it's tail. It never ends. But as long as employers keep
demanding that "piece of paper" to prove your knowledge, this will never
change.
